Tahitian Stretch Bracelets

[Hanaleimom]

I am wearing 5 bracelets today, not just Tahitian stretch bracelets, but also metallic FW bracelets. The pearls from oval FW bracelet are from Jeremy's bag here https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/freshwater-pearls/4521-guy-has-goods.html.

Drop Tahitian stretch bracelet pearls were hand-picked by my husband when we were at the 2010 ruckus, post # 157 https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/pearling-industry-news/4253-pearl-guide-ruckus-2010-a-11.html

Near round Tahitian bracelet is from Tahiti Pearl Market. Two small round FW bracelets are from PP. I bought a necklace and split them to make bracelets.

Pictures taken with my Samsung cell phone, not best quality to showcase the pearls.

In real life, the oval metallic FW pearls mesmerize me. Some pearls have multiple colors, peachy in the middle, green on the end and pink on other end when I twist my wrist.

I like wearing bracelets better than necklaces because I get to see those pearls glimmer in front of me by the keyboard, almost all day at work.

Cathy,

Now there's an armful of gorgeous!! The fw and Tahitians look terrific together! Thanks for the stringing tips also!

Thanks, Pattye. I was trying to achieve this look, wrist only.

I use Hypo cement on the knots on mine. I have made bead bracelets on Stretch Magic for quite a while, and not had any problems. And I have at least one with HEAVY agate beads on it. The only issue I have had is on a double strand bracelet where one strand appears to have grown a little. It snaps right back to the normal length if I stretch it and let it "snap" back though, so I'm thinking it is catching on something inside the bead hole.

Raj, What MM size pearls did you use in the bracelets?

What about glueing the ending with clear nail polish, both for stretch and silk ?
